“B-boss!” the urgent shout came, startling the Red Oni out of her day dream. “What is it?” she replied, more than a little upset at being disturbed. The lupine woman was bent over double, catching her breath after a swift jog to arrive at her boss’ quarters. She heaved thrice more before gathering the air…
